So, which artists and songs have significantly influenced how hip-hop evolved since 2010? We asked artists, producers, DJs and creatives the tough question and discover what tracks they think were the pivotal moments from the last 10 years. Featuring artists such as Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Azealia Banks and a whole lot of Drake, check out their list of the best 14 hip-hop songs of the decade..

Pretty good list! Aside from Drake, that is. 212 is my #2 of the decade so good to see it on lists even after the decade is over.

It is a good list. I wish they would have picked Marvin's Room for one of the Drake songs.
